ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility and effect of clinical nursing path in the standard management of advanced schistosomiasis patients with splenomegaly. METHODS: A total of 64 advanced schistosomiasis patients with splenomegaly were randomly divided into a routine nursing group (control group) and a clinical nursing pathway group (CNP group), and the postoperative situation, average hospitalization days, cost of hospitalization and the satisfaction of the patients of the 2 groups were compared. RESULTS: The complications, average hospitalization days, costs of hospitalization in the CNP group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group, and satisfaction rate of the patients in the CNP group increased from 81.25% to 100%. CONCLUSION: The implementation of CNP effectively reduces the length of hospitalization, costs and complications, and improves the satisfaction of the patients.
